2014 WC Brazil|June 12th to July 13th|CBC/Sportsnet

I am legitimately 1/2 spanish from Spain (mother born there) and 1/2 Uruguayan (Father born there and brother)

So you're half white, eh?

Nice!

I'll be cheering for a likely disappointing English team. They do have three Toffees...so they can't be all bad.

Two Gunners as well, would be nice to see them get a second trophy this year, but not betting the house on this one.
Feel bad for France having to carry Giroud around, at least he can kiss his wrists after every failed attempt.

Dingos are waaaaaaaaaay more fierce than the Socceroos, frankly.

 

[Hoss]

I don't understand the constant lack of representation of Uruguay.

 

[Volcanologist]

bahahahaaa Mexico

@FIFAWorldCupTM: Marco Reus has been ruled out of the World Cup after suffering an ankle injury in Germany's 6-1 friendly win over Armenia.

That's a blow....

As the owner of a Saint Bernard I feel compelled to point out the sheer lunacy of not having a Saint represent Switzerland when it is clearly indelibly linked to that country. They're its national dog for ****'s sake.

Plus they carry around small barrels of brandy (allegedly). Love a pet that carries booze around for its friend/master.

Tomorrow is the opener.

Any predictions for the opener?

Where the hell are zeke, ptbnl, pq, and all the other footy dudes?

 

[Metalleaf]

I see zeke on twitter, guess he's taking a break from this place.

I think Brazil makes the finals and I have a feeling that Spain will get upset by someone. I expect a strong showing from Belgium.

They split ownership with Italy, maybe that's why.

what is Zeke's handle on twitter?

He pretty much disappeared from here after the Leaf 8 game losing streak.

Haven't heard do you know the extent of Lukaku's injury?
